San Tan Valley,AZ
Summary
With a background in auto and diesel technology, Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) upfitting, and hands-on customer service roles, I bring a diverse skill set, strong work ethic, and a deep respect for structure and precision. I’ve worked in high-pressure environments where quality, safety, and accountability are non-negotiable.
Now beginning my training in welding, I’m committed to building a long-term career in industries that demand excellence—such as defense, shipbuilding, and heavy manufacturing. I’m particularly drawn to environments that follow military-grade standards, where attention to detail, discipline, and teamwork directly support larger missions.
Adaptable, coachable, and driven to grow, I’m ready to contribute to a workforce that values integrity, craftsmanship, and long-term impact.
